Along with Mickey Mouse and Asterix, Tintin is one of the world's most recognizable cartoon characters. If you haven't read any of his adventures, you are missing a real pleasure. The clean, crisp art style that defines modern European comics is almost entirely the influence of Hergé. Considered to be one of Hergé's masterworks, Tintin in Tibet is a great book for both old and new fans of Tintin. It is compelling, exciting, and spiritually rewarding in the way that the best comics stories can be.

5 out of 5 stars Ahead of its time.......2007-05-16

This is essentially Herge's spiritual soul searching 'hippie' book. If it had been done in the late 60s it would probably have been seen as being quite in tune with the popular culture of its time. Yet this was actually done ten years earlier in 1958, which makes it an almost visionary work. It was even orignally supposed to have had an all white cover, much like the beatles white album. All in all, one of the most enjoyable Tintin books, and also a timeless classic of 20th century popular culture.

4 out of 5 stars Possibly the best of the Tintin adventures........2007-04-13

Herge, Tintin in Tibet (Methuen, 1960)

Tintin in Tibet is a complete anomaly in the Tintin series, a diversion from Tintin's usual world of intrigue to follow a dream. Tintin finds out his old friend Chang (from The Blue Lotus) has been involved in a plane crash in Tibet, he and Haddock rush off to the crash site. Tintin is convinced Chang is still alive; everyone around him, including Haddock, tell him it's not possible. Tintin's quest to find out the truth of Chang's fate leads him into a monastery full of mystics and, ultimately, a search for the legendary yeti.

This is an amazing piece of work. It is, perhaps, the most universally lauded Tintin comic (Lofficier, in The Pocket Essential Tintin, says it's been voted the greatest French-language graphic novel of all time), and it is without doubt one of the best. ****

4 out of 5 stars Great Tintin book.......2007-02-02

This was reportedly author Herge's own favorite book in the Tintin series. It's slower, less oriented toward children, and fascinated (to the point of naivete, perhaps) with Eastern mysticism. The plot: Tintin, vacationing in the Alps with Haddock and Calculus, suddenly has a dream in which his friend Tchang (from The Blue Lotus, an early Tintin album) is in serious danger. As they soon learn, Tchang was on a plane that crashed on the Himalayas, apparently without survivors. But Tintin is convinced Tchang is alive, so there they go to try to rescue him. In Tibet they met a number of people, including none other than the Yeti (who is a central character in the book) and flying lamas(!). A very good album, though I wouldn't rate it among the very best. Also of interest is that it shows an independent Tibet, the book being written just before China's invasion of that land.

5 out of 5 stars Tintin in Tibet.......2006-12-25

Tintin has a dream of his Chinese friend Chang (from "The Blue Lotus") after hiking on a mountain holiday, and wakes to find that a plane Chang was on has crashed in the Himalayas. There were no survivors reported, but Tintin is convinced that Chang is still alive up there, so off he goes to the Nepalese/Tibetan border, along with Captain Haddock and some shirpas, looking for clues. There's a few surprises to be found up there, and Tintin hopes with all his heart that a healthy, happy Chang is one of them.

It's the last Tintin adventure, I reckon, that has Tintin as the main character. The last three completed ones ("The Castafiore Emerald", "Flight 714" and "Tintin and the Picaros") focus more on Captain Haddock. It's also probably the most emotional Tintin's character gets as well. The mountain scenery and Nepalese towns are drawn really nicely, and the adventure is simple and enjoyable. Worth a look for fans of Tintin.

5 out of 5 stars A very personal story.......2005-09-27

This adventure of the beloved reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy is one of the most personal story that creator Hergé has ever told.

Tintin dreams of his friend Tchang -- only to learn that his dream has become reality: his friend is supposed to have died in a plane crash in Tibet. He leaves immediatly to start a search...

When Hergé started to work on this adventure, he found himself in a personal crisis. A psychiatrist even recommended him to stop working on "Les aventures de Tintin"...

With "Tintin in Tibet", he broke free from his established way of drawing. As the story evolves, we often see snow covered flats or snow storms with little detail -- in contrast to what Hergés style is usually composed of. The cast is also greatly reduced in number. Only a few of the established characters take center stage and not too many new ones are intoduced.

This is an excellent comic book -- maybe one of the greatest ever created. It is fun to read and the drawings are just gorgeous.

Amazon.com

Reinhold Messner, the famed Austrian alpinist, has spent much of three decades climbing in the Himalayas--and, as it turns out, looking along the way for evidence of the yeti, the legendary, supposedly humanoid inhabitant of the high mountains. Messner writes of having encountered "an apparition" at the Tibetan headwaters of the Mekong River. Remembering a photograph of a mysteriously shaped footprint that Eric Shipton had taken years earlier, Messner began to collect evidence--tracks, eerie cries and whistles, fleeting glimpses--of the fabled abominable snowman. With that mounting evidence, he writes, "the mountains that I knew so well now seemed smothered in mystery." Of the yeti's existence, the climber has no doubt; his pages are taken up by his quest for plausible answers as to the creature's real identity. He writes of possibilities that many scientists have discounted--for instance, that the yeti may be a kind of ape, or perhaps a long-diverged species of bear--dismissing knee-jerk unbelievers with an impatient wave, and turning in a lively natural history of an unknown being.

With this memoir, Messner is in good literary company--Peter Matthiessen and Slavomir Rawicz, among others, have written of high-mountain encounters with yetis--and in fine form. Readers with an interest in cryptozoology and mountaineering alike will delight in his findings. --Gregory McNamee

3 out of 5 stars His writing mirrors the myth.......2000-11-15

The title is probably a lot more descriptive than you think. When I noticed this book on the shelf, I saw the word YETI in large letters and took it to be another book with a cryptozoological bent. That isn't what the book is about though. It is about his quest for an answer to his question of the Yeti's origin.

This is a quick read. Primarily, this is because his descriptions of the territory and his travels throughout the mountains are fascinating. Just hearing about how he goes from culture to culture and lets us know what Tibet is becoming was interesting.

Not until the very end of the book are we sure what Messner thinks of the Yeti. Of course, from his narrative, he doesn't know what he thinks until the end. He has the hypothesis that the yeti is pure myth with a basis in reality. He believes that the local bear, the chemo, is the basis for these myths. Myths are real in that they shape the local beliefs and culture.

Obviously Messner is intelligent. He is able to speak many languages. Unfortunately, I found his jumping from term to term concerning the yeti to be confusing. After reflecting on the book, I think that is pretty indicative of the whole yeti myth (which Messner may be trying to tell us). No one can agree on the terminology or characteristics of the yeti. This is part of the myth. The characteristics and name will change from culture to culture.

If you are wanting to read a book on the yeti. This would be a nice change of pace from the average X-Files type of story about the yeti. As a general travel book, this is a fairly entertaining read.

3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2000-07-07

I bought this book with some high hopes. I have read Messners mountaineering books and enjoyed them. Too bad this wasn't as well written.

He spends a lot of time contradicting himself and trying to convince the reader that evidence that obviously does not conform to bear sightings, does in fact, prove that the Yeti is some form of rarely sighted bear. In addition he drops in many smug and to my mind, conceited asides on the inadequacies of every investigator before his exalted self.

The photos of tracks he includes ARE obviously bear tracks - so the conclusion I would draw is that he saw a bear and not a Yeti, and probably should have written a book about being scared of a Tibetan bear.

He seems utterly convinced though, all evidence to the contrary, that he has solved the mystery.

So, it is a quick read, not particularly well written and more concerned with bragging about his adventures sneaking around in Chinese controlled areas illegally than it is a serious book about solving the Yeti enigma.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2000-05-01

It's worth picking up in a library, but I was disappointed after paying the hardcover price following a favorable review in Outside magazine. It's really two books in one, as another reviewer said - a book about the author's search for the Yeti of myth, and a few chapters about an obscure kind of bear. Apparently the author thinks that the Yeti stories are basically Tibetan legens about the bear; that's a great theory, but I'm not sure it's worthy of the sensationalistic title/cover that this book has.

5 out of 5 stars Theory-Schmery -- excellent book!.......2000-04-30

Since this book came out in 1998 in German -- yet somehow the whole world wasn't talking about it -- I figured that the ultimate answer to the yeti mystery was not to be held inside before I bought it. Thus, I was neither surprised nor disappointed by his conclusions that the chemo (bear) was the yeti. I did not feel the bipedal aspect of the myth and regular reports was adequately addressed, but then again, I can't say I much cared. This is an adventure book like no other. Being regularly arrested and detained by the Chinese, climbing 8,000+ meter peaks, chased by packs of dogs, braving conditions Westerners don't approach in horror movies -- amazing stuff! Like "Into Thin Air" (J. Krakauer), Messner begins the tale with the height of climactic action, just great! Messner should be applauded for the effort to address lore left mainly to tabloids in a serious, important, groundbreaking (if for no other reason than the wealth of his experience in the Himalayas), and meaningful way. Certain enjoyment for anyone with a pulse _and_ a brain. Messner, Brashears, Krakauer -- does high altitude create great writers? Ed Viesturs, you need to join this crowd with some regular submissions of _your_ adventures on the 8,000+ peaks!

Wow! This book is great. I remember the Choose Your Own Adventure series were some of the only books I would actually borrow from our elementery school library. It's awesome that they have kept the same stories while giving them new updated covers and artwork. I would definitely reccomend this book for any kid 7 and up, or any adult who read the series as a child. These books really made me want to read as a kid because they let you choose your own story. The Abominable Snowman is probably one of the best ones, the endings are really creative.

5 out of 5 stars RL 4 - 11, Excellent Book- Self Motivation for Reading .......2006-03-29

The Choose Your Own Adventure series is excellent to motivate your children and students to read. The book lets you make your own choices and find out what happens to your character. Kind of like a video game in a book. This particular one The Abominable Snowman is one of RA Montgomery's best and will be lauched on DVD in August of 2006. Imagine being able to make your own choices on DVD and in a Book that effect the outcome of you as the main character.

If you choose to lauch you adventure in reading, go to page 5.

If you choose to miss the biggest thing since Harry Potter, go to page 36.

2 out of 5 stars Good idea, bad execution.......1999-07-08

Back in its heyday, the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series was one of the best, most exciting series for kids there was. Especially good were the ones by Edward Packard. His colleague R.A. Montgomery wrote less successful efforts. This one displays his fondness for negative and often arbitrary endings, as well as for a sort of new agey bizarreness. Ace illustrator Grainger is always good, though I wonder to think that anyone would ever pay for a hardcover of this light text, when a paperback would do.

5 out of 5 stars Will you find the Abominable Snowman?.......1999-03-25

The Abominable Snowman is a great book.You have to find a yeti to proove that he really exists.On your way you'll find a friend to come along.But you never know what will happen next.You have to choose your own advenure.You could find the yeti and become rich and famous, or you find a city you will live in.Or you get scared before you even find the yeti and return back home.

    Three comic artists adapt the R.L. Stine 'Goosebumps' stories to graphic novel format for young readers - and promise to attract even reluctant readers with its black and white visual embellishments. Here are excellent, eerie drawings to illustrate a girl's dangerous visit to her grandparents, and a case of curious siblings unleashing a monster in Southern California. While color might have worked even better, Goosebumps: Creepy Creatures is still a top pick for elementary-level readers who appreciate the thrill of the chill.

    Customer Reviews:

    2 out of 5 stars Shameful, could have been much better.......2006-09-07

    First I will state that I'm not much for the "east coast bigfoot" but I'm fractionally more open minded about the Ohio area. So with that, here ya go...

    This is Chris Murphy's third bigfoot book, this time centering on sightings and stories from Ohio. He and the two 'co-writers' run through each Ohio county alphabetically and then chronologically per county on stories/encounters with the grassman/wild man creatures. But first, he gives us a brief rehashing of the "origins of sasquatch", Jerry Crew, and Roger Patterson. Then proceeds into the sighting section. These pieces of info is, for the most part, very brief and reminscent of Philip Rife's book (which was very weak and internet heavy). He has two brief chapters on bigfoot and bears in Ohio; followed by strange deer killings possibly linked to the Ohio bigfoot creatures. He then delves into animalistic looking humans such as circus sideshows, why I'm not really sure.

    All in all, this is a very low grade book, coming in at around 130 pages. If you take out the intro chapters and the ending chapters that deal with nothing in Ohio, then the book is maybe 70 pages of Ohio-based sightings/encounters. Its bonus is the book is printed on glossy pages so should be more durable.

    Personal opinion here... Murphy has now put out three bigfoot books and this coming from a guy (along side Cliff Crook) that had previously tried to 'debunk' the Patterson film with the infamous "bell shaped zipper" blow-up 10 years ago. Now he's purportedly a staunch supporter of the creatures. Is he writing these books because he argues for bigfoot existance or for the low term money returns?

    4 out of 5 stars Scientist investigates the evidence for Bigfoot.......2000-04-28

    Dr. John Napier was Curator of Primates at the Smithsonian Institution. At the time this book was written in the early 1970's, it was unusual for a Scientist to publicly show interest in this subject. Dr Napier was a leading Primatologist who took an interest in this subject and began investigating further. He examines the evidence for the existence of the North American "Bigfoot" as well as the Himalyan "Yeti". Also discussed is the 1967 Roger Patterson film. Dr Napier analyzes the footprint evidence also. Dr Napier also discusses the cultural aspects of man's world wide belief in man like monsters. In his final chapter Dr. Napier concludes that he feels there is something to the Sasquatch reports and further states that if even one of the tracks are legitmate than the Sasquatch does exist and as Scientists they have some explaining to do. This book is out of print, however it was a mass produced paperback and is relatively easy to find. Anyone who is interested in this subject should read this book and have a copy in their library.

    5 out of 5 stars Survivors! A Far Away Adventure.......2001-02-04

    A wonderful book to take you away from wherever you live and move you to a NEW and wonderful experience. Survivors in the true sense of the word. Nothing contrived. While reading you will want to pack a backpack and a water bottle and hike with the author and his family into places most of us will never get to go. Not a travel jounal as such, but when you are finished you will feel like you could manage Tibet. Not a far off scientific quest, but when you are finished you will know more than you did when you started about the Top of the World. You will enjoy the whole walk up into the mountains. It is a great way to keep life in perspective. I bought it for myself and to give away! Enjoy!
